Himachal Readies for Large Participation in Farmers Protests
Feb 13 meeting to chalk out plan
Though miniscule till now, the participation from the hill state of Himachal Pradesh in the ongoing farmers’ movement against the controversial farm bills is all set to increase in the days to come. A movement against these laws was also expected in the hills of neighbouring Uttarakhand, but the glacial burst has thrown the state and its people into turmoil.
The tiny state of Himachal saw demonstrations at 22 places despite biting cold conditions on February 6 when there was a call for a ‘Chakka Jam’ across the country barring a few states.
